| this project was all about producing a cloak that
was painted with translucent layers to achieve a blended look. I needed a
miniature with a large billowing cloak, but also one that was small enough
to finish in a reasonable amount of time. The figure titled "Lord Jonas
the Quiet" (aka "Knight with Two-Handed Sword", from Grenadier and Dark
Ages) fit the bill perfectly. The hardest part was to keep the shading
colors from becoming too dark. As you can see, I didn't always get it
right. But it was fun to do, and taught me quite a bit which was all that
I wanted. |
